Services
Toenail Reconstruction
Our toenail reconstruction service addresses damaged or unsightly nails caused by trauma, fungal infections, or medical conditions. Using specialized gel resins, we create temporary nail replacements that restore natural appearance while promoting healthy regrowth. This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing embarrassment or discomfort from nail deformities. Our practitioners combine technical expertise with aesthetic sensitivity to deliver results that boost confidence and functionality.
Swift Verruca Treatment
Swift Verruca Treatment offers an effective solution for persistent verrucas using microwave technology to stimulate the body's immune response. This non-invasive procedure targets infected tissue without damaging surrounding skin, making it ideal for both children and adults. Our experienced podiatrists customize treatment plans based on lesion severity and patient comfort levels. The service includes follow-up assessments to ensure complete resolution of the condition.
Gait Analysis
Our gait analysis service identifies biomechanical abnormalities that cause foot, knee, hip, or lower back pain. Using advanced diagnostic tools like Footscan technology, we assess walking patterns to determine root causes of discomfort. This information informs personalized treatment strategies that may include orthotics, footwear recommendations, or targeted exercises. The service helps patients of all ages improve mobility and prevent recurring injuries through data-driven interventions.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized diabetic foot care prevents complications through regular monitoring and proactive treatment. Our services include nerve function assessments, vascular checks, and customized care plans for patients with diabetes. We address issues like neuropathy, poor circulation, and wound management to reduce amputation risks. The service combines routine maintenance with patient education on self-care techniques to maintain foot health and overall wellbeing.
Nail Surgery
Nail surgery treats chronic ingrown toenails through partial or complete nail removal under local anaesthetic. Our practitioners use proven techniques to minimize recurrence while preserving surrounding tissue. The procedure includes post-operative care instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor healing. This service provides long-term relief for patients suffering from recurrent infections or severe nail deformities affecting daily activities.
